Yogurt

Ok, so I made this gluco-granola stuff that they had in the book. It's got wheat germ, steel-cut oats, walnuts, coconut and a few other things to make it all stick together. You could eat it alone, but the book suggests tossing some in a half-cup of plain yogurt. 

I remember when I was younger, my mom borrowed someone's yogurt maker to entertain my brother and I one summer. I was really excited about making yogurt and couldn't wait to taste it. Once it finished, I popped the top of one of the containers and took a big spoonful. Ugh. It was awful- which my mother quickly explained was because it was plain. Flash forward to now. Somehow I thought that I wouldn't mind the plain yogurt as much. Wow, was I wrong. It's still awful. Even with my yummy gluco-granola in it. I could barely choke it down yesterday. Today, I opted to try the granola in some low-fat cottage cheese that was in the fridge. Much better. 

In the future, I'm thinking it's worth the few extra calories to get the vanilla yogurt.
